SCENE I The Cockpit
M1: 4, 3, 2, 1 ...

Jonas: Blast off! Up to the stars we go
and leave behind everything I used to know
Somebody's givin' me a whole lotta money to do what I think I want to
So why am I still feelin' blue,
Oh, Wuan and Dondó?

Wuan and Goddamn, get your head outta your hand
Dondó: Here's to all the times we're gonna have
Cooped up for a year with the two best looking babes I've seen all year
Wuan: Get me another bottle o' beer
Cuz' I'm feelin' fine!

Jonas: Go ahead and waste your head
we got the time
I hope you don't object that I
Speak my mind

Wuan: Sit back and light up a fat one, man
It's gonna be a long, cold trip if you act like that
Think of all the chicks and the money and the news crews waitin' back home for us

Jonas: Get me off the magic bus
I don't think I belong

Wuan: Go ahead and waste your life on silly fears
I hope you don't object if I
crack another beer, yeah!

It's pullin me in

Scene II 11:30
Jonas: What the hell am I doing?
Thinking with my willie
Knowing I don't love her
I tell her no
then kiss her toes

Laurel: What the heck are you doing?
Leading on that poor girl
I know there's something better
deep in you
Now let it through Have L. sing

Jonas: Pain, pain go away "he is in my eyes
come again another day
Cuz I've got a friend tonight he is in my ears
a super friend to make things right

blood
I'll turn away from weakness tears"
and turn to something better
show me how to live right (both ("you are...")
I never noticed you
but now I worship you

Laurel: Don't be talking silly
Save the sweets for the young girls
You can talk for real to me
Now close your eyes
and leave the lies

Both: Pain, Pain go away
come again another day
Cuz I've got a friend tonight
A super friend to make things right


Come to me

Jo-Jo: Now you're happy as can be
Here's your dramatic irony
I hate to burst your bubble
looks like we're both in trouble
I'm afraid I'm late about two weeks


I hate to burst your bubble
Looks like we're both in trouble
One think that I know for sure it's you
I thought you should know
Here's a little clue
You did this to me
So what are you gonna do?
No matter to me
I love you more
I want you to know
Why, oh, why do I hang on
Knowing you'll never turn round
I just can't help myself
I want you and no one else
So why isn't that enough for you?

Tragic Girl

I want you so bad

Your touch is magic


I love you so much
You sad, sad girl
You're just killin' yourself
and I can't be a partner to that
You dear, dear, girl
Vulnerable helpless soul

You're lost to me
You're so beautiful
When you're drunk and pukin'
I want to care for you
You dear lost soul
lipstick smeared across your face
your breath is barf
I've got to let you go

But you're a 1000 times alive
a 1000 times the girl
You're just killing yourself
and I can't go with you
I can't tie(?) myself to that
I have to let you go
and watch you sink before my eyes
I can't bring myself to say the words
but you know... you know
You're falling apart before my eyes


I can't go on with you

You're a tragic girl
You lead a tragic life (I'm your sober boy)
I'm just meant to be
You're latest tragedy
Goodbye tragic girl
goodbye tragic life
I need to be alone
and live inside myself
You make me want to cry
You make me want to run
to or away from
That I never know

You're so beautiful when you're dying

I just can't do it

Things that seem fishy

baby needs more

Dondo needs more

Maria doing drugs while pregnant

ACT II - 327 days later

SCENE I Jonas's Pod
Jonas: She's had a girl
sweet child of mine "the 1st child born in space"
Her blood's my blood
Her eyes, my eyes
I can't believe
She belongs to me
I belong to her
forever
Now I finally see
what it is I want
Only I'm too late
Surrender! She has won

Wuan: Dude!

Dondó: Dude!

Wuan: Dude!

Jonas: What?

Wuan and Dondó: Good news! Good News! Good news!

Jonas: What's...
Wuan: Now we're finally landing so damn important that you
and Dondó M1's started scanning feel that it's necessary to
for a possible source interrupt me in
of the distress call we received my pod
Now! We're finally landing
Now! We're finally landing
Get your stuff together
Cuz now we're finally gonna land

Good news, good news, good news
good news, good news; good news so who gives a damn now?
good news, good news, good news

Jonas: Now I finally see
what it is I want
And I won't concede
surrender to her love
Now I finally see
What it is I want

<siren>

M1: Prepare for landing

Jonas: This is beginning to hurt
This is beginning to be serious
It used to be a game, now its a crying shame
Cuz you don't wanna play around no more
I used to run around
Sometimes I fell and skinned my knee
I never meant to do all that I've done it's true
Please, baby, say it's not too late
to Getchoo, uh-huh
Getchoo, uh-huh
Getchoo, uh-huh
Getchoo, Getchoo, Getchoo. uh-huh
Ya know this is breakin' me up
you think that I'm some kind of freak
Bud if you'd come back to me then you would surely see
that I'm just foolin' around
to Getchoo, uh-huh
getchoo, uh-huh
getchoo, getchoo, getchoo
I can't believe
What you've done to me
What I did to her
You've done to me



This is beginning


now I know what I must do
where I belong

SCENE II Outside Maria's Pod


Jonas: My girl's on fire
But I'll stand beside her
She's all I've got and I don't want to be alone
My girl don't see me
When she's with my friends
She's all I've got and I don't want to be alone
No there is no other one
No there is no ther one
I can't have any other one
though I would, now I never could with one
All of the drugs she does
Scare me real good
She's got a tattoo
and two pet snakes
But nobody knows me like her
Nobody knows her like me
We're all we've got and
we don't want to be alone
No there is no other one
No there is no other one
I can't have any other one
though I would, now I never could with one

Wuan: Touch down, there's no sign of life anywhere
I don't understand what the hell we're doing here
Travel for a year and drink a lot of beer is my idea of fun
But where's the prize we should have won?

M1: Chill out
I think I've found some sort of anomaly
We're gonna go out to the surface of the planet and take a quick look around



Jonas: Go ahead and look around
I'll stay behind
It's time for me to settle down
And set things right
Dondó: Hold on, who is that ring you got for

Jonas: Suddenly our shortcomings
don't seem to matter that much
your IQ is 20 points low
and I'm no 6 foot hot-look all-american man
Sad to say I pushed you away
waiting for Mrs. Right
But you never gave up
Devotion, waiting for me
You'll always be my girlfriend
I too am waiting for you
I'll always be your friend
I commend your stubborness
Without it we'd've never got this far
I am done with perfection
chasing her leaves me with nothing but pain
Unlike you she isn't true
She's got her own concerns
But you never gave up
Devotion, waiting for me
You'll always be my girlfriend
I too, am waiting for you
I'll always be your friend
Jonas and
Jo-Jo: Now that we're left all alone
Touch me and kiss me and love me
Jonas: What is this I find
under your behind?
extra-huge
and it's used
I wonder which 2 of us
best of friends opened and used it

Jo-Jo: Jonas, you know I waited Oh, I threw away
waited till I couldn't take it your loving kindness
I was alone, he called on the phone I took you for granted
and gave me the love you wouldn't I'm all alone
Jonas: The only man I know Jo-Jo: think of the times we loved
who fits is our Dondó think of the child we have
extra-huge love would come true
and its used if I could undo
I know which 2 of us what you-
Best of friends opened and used it you made me do
Now I finally see No! there is no other one
What you're all about No, no, No there is no other one
too late too late I can't have any other one
what I did I wish wouldn't have done

Maria: Oh Jonas, I hear you
I know that you're in there with Laural

Jonas: Damn

Maria: Oh Jonas, please hear me
I need to tell you something
Now open, open the door

Why haven't you called me
did you forget me
I need to know
When were you intending
to break the silence
and let me know
mine is the loneliest of numbers
and now is the loneliest of times
I'm 19 days late
but still I sit and wait
Waiting and Waiting
Waiting and waiting
Waiting and waiting
Waiting on you
Who have you been seeing
That made you forget me
I bet you call her
Where, where does she come from
I bet it's New England
I bet she's just a friend

I asked you if you had a good heart

Jonas: I answered "Yes, I'll never do you harm"

Maria: Oh Jonas, I've told you in D
Now you know why I've been crazy

Jonas: Maria, I'm sorry in F
I promise to give you a ring
as soon as I get the chance

Oh! She's a liar
She's just trying to trap me Laural:
Maria is nothing to me Maria is all that you've got
Laural you're all that I want Maybe you could have had me
Maybe you thought I was joking before Maybe you could have had me
But now you must know that I'm not if you grown up a little bit sooner and
Now I know for sure thought - about your life
I've changed my ways
I'm ready for you

Jonas: I know I shouldn't trust in you
Ya got a look that made me think you're cool
But it's just sexual attraction
Not somethin' real so I'd rather keen wackin'
Why bother?
It's gonna hurt me
It's gonna kill when you desert me
This happened to me twice before
It won't happen to me anymore
I've known a lot of girls before
What's the harm in knowin' one more?
Maybe we could even get together
Yeah, maybe you could break my heart next summer
Why Bother?
It's gonna hurt me
It's gonna kill when you desert me
This happened to me twice before
It won't happen to me anymore
It's a cryin' shame I'm all alone
Not with you, not her, nor anyone
won't you knock me on my head
Crack it open let me outta here now
Don't bother
it's gonna hurt me
it's gonna kill when you desert me


Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me


Laural: I'm so tall, can't get over me
I'm so low, can't get under me
I must be all these things
For I just threw out the love of my dreams
he's in my eyes
he is in my ears
he's in my blood
he is in my tears
I breathe love and see him every day
Even though my love is a world away
Oh he's got me wonderin'
My righteousness is crumblin'
Never before have I felt this
know what is right but want for him to stay
I must be made of steel
For I just threw out the love of my dreams


We are an alien race
our world is in grave danger


"black hole ... help ... you're our only hope"
(last survivor) (my)
